My wife has a Touch Diamond 2 with original stock ROM from about a year ago. She has a recurring problem with incoming calls stopping ringing after 3 rings - meaning that she misses virtually all of her calls. A quick test reveals that the caller continues to hear the phone ringing after my wife's phone stops ringing.
She has Call Forwarding (in Network service settings) set to divert calls after 30 seconds, although this seems to reset itself to 15 seconds every time she reboots the phone (??).
She's in the Asda Mobile network in the UK (which I believe is based on Vodafone).
Has anyone else had this issue?
I think all of us(married males)face this problem i e ,our voice is gone when our wives appear.
The issue is your forward settings.

The forward settings are to forward to voicemail after 30 seconds.
???
If you take those setting off, it will roll to Vmail in 4 rings or whatever your carrier sets it to.
The 30 secs is interferring and causing it to roll after 3.

You are you saying that the 30 sec setting is effectively meaningless/useless, and that she only has the choice between 3 and 4 rings? (which is usually too short, as she never has the phone near enough to answer it that quickly!)

Basically yes.
You can contact your provided and I think they can configure it from their end to set for more rings. There is no way to control this from the phone.
If you are in the US, you can use Google Voice. If she sets it up to forward to her cell, it will give more time to answer.

Hello,
Recently I have been noticing that my IIi appears to inform me of incoming calls rather late. When I wear my bluetooth headset I can hear the incoming call in my headset but it takes at least 5-7 seconds before the ringer on my phone starts ringing. By the time the ringer starts ringing to let me know of a phone call I have maybe 3-5 seconds to answer it before my voice mail picks up. Does anyone else experience this problem? Are there any solutions? It almost seems like the cpu just does not have the power to process the incoming call that quickly. Any help would be appreciated.
What headset are you using?
Does it have a delay without a headset?
On mine I get a delay with a headset that supports the handsfree profile (Jabra BT800) but not on a normal one, or without a headset.
My XDA2 did this also, but the XDA2 with WM2005 worked perfectly.
could be the time needed to find/load the ringtone ?
do you have caller id or ringtonex with different ringtones and/or pictures?
maybe loaded from memory card ?

I have the same problem with mine... I only get three rings to answer the phone - which can be pretty annoying!
I've not noticed whether having any form of headset makes a difference, though.
Ringing Delay
I upgaded to the latest version of software from 02 last week, since then I get what I can only describe as a "stutter" when the phone rings. I am also getting a lot of lost calls i.e the phone rings twice then says I have a missed call, but the people ringing me say that it goes to ansaphone ???

I have the same problems and the bluetooth flattens the battery in 4 hours. I used to have the XDA II with Sins cooked 2K3se and it was perfect, unfortunately I gave it to my son who won't give it back.
Hey, I have same problem, I got the latest ROM, and since then it got even worse. Does anybody knows how to fix the problem, modify ROM, or something, PLEase help.
Thank you.
the only solution i have to date is to change the answerphone delay, you can find your networks status codes here:

i changed mine to 30 secs to give me a better chance!
cheers
Hi all,
Running my Orange UK (unlocked and on T-mobile) with Duttys 6.1 ROM and radio 1.64.08.21 and seem to have an issue when answering incoming calls.
I'm sure I've seen this reported elsewhere but can't find it for the life of me now!
When I recieve an incoming call and press the green answer button, there is about a 2 second delay before the call is connected. If you're not quick, TM voicemail takes the call. Seems to be a second of ringing on the calling handset before it starts ringing on the TYTN 2 as well.
Can someone confirm that I have seen this reported elsewhere and post a link or suggest if this is a ROM issue, radio issue or general Kaiser issue?
Only kept the orange rom for about 48 hours and went straight to Duttys so cant really recall if it happened on the orange rom.
Many thanks guys!
Not exactly the same problem, but I have a similar issue on my Tilt with my bluetooth headset. I press the headset button to answer and don't hear anything for about 1.5 seconds. Usually, the person calling is saying "hello? hello?" by the time I actually get connected.
The headset (Plantronics 510) works great for everything else.
Have you tried the following. I've seen this help some people including myself.
Start > Settings > Phone > Services Tab .. Highlight Call Forwarding and hit Get Settings ..
Forward phone calls only if: Forward After: there is a drop down box that some providers allow you to set the time before the call goes to viocemail. (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 seconds) .. I think default was 20 on my phone/provider.
If your network provider doesn't allow changes from your phone you might have to call their customer service and request they manually change the network settings for you.
Same problem here as well! Same Rom (Dutty's), same network (Orange).
And I've only flashed last week and was on the standard Orange Rom before and there wasn't a delay. Any help is appreciated as this is a right pain.
I've changed to 30 seconds before diverting to the answerphone - so thanks for that response at least.

Had no idea that screen was there... Thanks! I've changed my call forward to 25 seconds, 'cause I had always felt it was going to vms too quickly.

I had this issue myself with Dutty's V4 RTM (WM 6.0) rom. Pressing the Green button would result in a 2 second delay in being able to answer the phone, but if I used the left soft key to answer, there was no delay.
Same problem here. T-Mobile vanilla ROM. Can take up to 5 seconds for the call to reach my earpiece.
Solved it!
I had seen elsewhere that turning off the kepad sounds and turning off smart dialing could help, but I can't find a smart dialing option in the phone options.
Just tried switching the the Windows dialler rather than HTC and turning off auto Audio record on the Resco recorder which I had forgotten about.
After bit of playing, it appears (quite obviously now) to be the Audio recorder!
Used to use this on my wizard without any notable problems, but seems to be an issue on the Kaiser. It answers and hangs up in an instant now
A bit specific, but if any of you guys have this kind of thing installled and configured, try turning it off?!
Thanks for the replies and suggestions and hope you get it sorted too!
I don't have Resco audio installed and it only happens occasionally but when it does it usually happens a few times in a row.
Sometimes I also get the ringtone coming through the BT headset while the kaiser sputters into life. Then a 2 second delay
before the BT headset beeps and the caller can hear me.
Occasionally, I can hear the caller at the same time as I can hear the ringtone. Just another 'feature' I guess.
"If you're not quick, TM voicemail takes the call"
There's usually a few seconds delay between 'hearing' the other phone ring and it actually ringing. Can be up to 5 seconds.
some default ring tones are timed 3+ seconds apart. Choose the wrong ring tone and ring tone type (increasing volume) and
it's possible to miss the first 2 rings which, if the answer after x seconds delay is set to 20 seconds gives someone about
5 seconds to answer the phone or miss the call. My GF suffered 'missed call syndrome' after fiddling with her Hermes.
You can adjust the voice mail answer after x seconds time in start/settings/phone/services/call forwarding/get settings
Forward calls only if [no answer should be ticked]
Drop down menu Forward after ..
Mine is set to 30 seconds.
I have this problem with my diamond.
When I receive an incoming call it starts ringing, but it rings only for 20 seconds, after that it rejects automatically tha call.
Why does it happen? Is there any configuration to change this setting?

Wow...it was an operator setting...i never modified this setting.
Thank you for the answers. I have disabled all call forwarding.
IRUS mate, brilliant advice, works like a charm!
Much appreciated...I would have never figured that out
I've also have this problem but can't change the length for Call Forwarding. All the other settings yes but there is an option to change the lenth to 30 secs from 20 secs and its rejected. I rang Orange who I'm with and they say its a software problem with the handset, can anyone help?
I have a problem with my ringtone that is driving me nuts. When the ringer starts, it is very quiet for maybe a second or two and then suddenly goes to the full ringer volume. I would like it to start at the preset volume level and continie; i.e. get rid of the soft-then-loud and just keep the loud.
For additional background I used ringdroid to make a few ringtones from .mp3s. The original .mp3 and created ringtones created sound perfect played through a media player so it is not the files themselves rather something weird on the phone.
This is one of the last items for me in setting up my new system so please help!
You can't fix that. Its a standard Samsung thing that they do with all devices.. No way as of yet to get around it.
This is terrible! Isn't there a way to remove this setting? This is an Android device after all!
Fret not, my friend.
As there's no solution to the native ringing behavior, here's a workaround to help offset the first low ring by extending the time your phone rings before rolling over into voicemail.
1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.
2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages.
3. Write down the number (including +1)
4. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is the number you wrote down previously, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum
5. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.
Dialing *#61# as instruction 5 suggests told me that my phone forwards to voicemail after 30 seconds.
I will give this a try. Any explanation for why this works?

Its not that it changes the tone like he said. All this does is make your phone ring for a longer period of time. I think the default is 20 secs.. using the settings above you extend that time by 10 more secs of ringing which helps so you can catch the phone. You still aren't stopping the actual soft first ring.
Exactly. This used to be changeable only via AT&T until I discovered the procedure elsewhere. Helps alot.
Hmm. This is not quite what I was looking for; I want to hear the beginings of my ringtones! Does anyone know the exact time the ringtone is softened? I guess I could use an .mp3 editor and bad nothingness to the beginning...
I downloaded audacity and put some blank space in the front of each one of my ringtones. 2 seconds seems to be the perfect amount of dead time for the ring to come up at full volume. This is actually kind of nice now vecause it gives me two seconds to reject the call before it starts making noise, so if I am in a meeting or something and forget to turn the ringer off (never happens I can dump the call.
Thanks Jack45, worked perfectly!
On all my old Samsung phones the call waiting would ring and then maybe a few seconds later ring again reminding you.
My new 21 Ultra the call waiting is like a constant beeping every second. Is there a way to change that pattern?
Also when switching over a call a box pops up asking how you want to handle the call when you are accepting the new call. 99% of the time I want to end the call and take the new call. Is there any way to bypass that screen as well?

As far as I know, its nothing to do with the phone. Its your phone service provider and I don't think you can change it other than disabling call waiting option.
